They moved aside, at a gesture of command from the Sun Priest, and let the party pass, altho the two Morgans did not fail to notice that the spearmen who had accompanied them from the Long House re- mained beyond the bridge Across the bridge and entered Into the bungalow-like hut on stilts, they found themselves in a large room better furnished, crude as the furnishings were, than they would have expected in the Valley of Lost Soule, The grass mats of the floor were of fine and careful weave and the shades of split bamboo that cov- ered the window openings were of patient workmanship. At the far end, against the wall, was a huge golden emblem of the rising sun similar to the one before | the altar—by the Long H But by far moat striking were two liv ing creatures who strangely inhab-| ited the place and who reely | moved. Beneath the rising sum raised above the floor on a sort of| dais, was a narrow-pillowed divan that was half throne. And on the divan, among the pik lows, cold in a softly shimmering robe of some material no one of them had seen before, reclined a sleeping woman. Only her breast softly rose and fell to her breath- ing. No Lost Soul was she, of the inbred and degenerate mixture of Carib and Spaniard. On her head was a tiara of beaten gold and} sparkling gems so large that almost it seemed a crown. AN IMPOSING SIGHT | Before her, on the floor, were two} tripods of gold—the one containing | amoaldering fire, the other, vastly larger, a golden bow! fully a fathom in diameter. Between the tripods, resting with outstrerched paws like the Sphinx, with unblinking eyes and without a quiver, a great dog, snow white of coat and resembling a Russian wolf hound, steadfastly regarded the intruders Leonica was breathless, but Tor. res shuddered and crossed himself and said: “This I have never heard of the Valley of Lost Souls. This woman who sleeps is a Spanish lady. She is of the pure Spanish blood. She! is Castilian. I am as certain as that) I stand here, that her eyes are blue. And yet that pallor!’ Again he shuddered. “It is an unearthly sleep. It is as if she tampered with drugs, and had jong tampered with drugs"—— “The very thing!

The priest was imperative now in bis scowls and gestured commands for silence. And in absolute silence they stood and watched the awak ening of the oracle. Slowly she drew herself half up- right, paused and re-caressed the happy wolfhound, whose cruel fangs were exposed in a formic long.

For a long minute the two women fazed wteadily into each other's eyes, at the end of which, with a flicker of triumph, Leonica werved the other's eyes droop.
